Much gratitude.

Thanks Mr Gerashchenko for highlighting the unique reports of @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social from the unbreakable city of Kherson
The Dnipro district of Kherson lies in the "red zone", closest to the front line. In the Korabel neighborhood, not a single apartment block remains undamaged by strikes. Safety is relative: drones can reach any part of the city.
